    I have been using the stock USB cable with my A6 since I got it.

    I would like to update it and wanted to see what brand other forum users are using.

    I tend to use Morrow Audio for my cabling needs. They make a great product and are always having sales.

    Thanks!!

    Why change as long as the cable conforms to specs ( usb.org) there will be no difference in sound quality whatsoever.

    Why buy a new streamer when the old one is still working?

    Keep your existing streamer and flush money down the toilet.

    CABLE AS A FINISHING FINISH
    They give your music more space, dynamics and details. They also cause less distortion, which interferes with the music. This means the music literally plays against a quieter background.

    No, not even a Finnish, finish, finishing.
    Just pure snake oil, just buy a fit for purpose cable.

    The only factor for an USB cable is to work at the full speed without causing any errors. Datatransfer is reliable which means it is 100% error corrected.
    Any claims beyond that is just marketing talk. USB3 is esential for high speed moves/copies not for playing music or movies.

    Cheap/bad cables may come with inferior connectors causing problems and above all nuissance when using those

    Hi Gil,

    I‘m using a 1 meter Tertullus USB cable ordered at Amazon.

    The plugs fit perfectly, it’s well made and relatively inexpensive.

    If you want to spend more money go for the Oehlbach or AudiQuest USB cables.

    A visit to a psychiatrist costs more than a good USB cable

    How can you have such hopeless health care?

    One would rather expect the plugs to fit, but why there will be absolutely no difference between the cheapest ( certified ) or the most expensive, you are just throwing money away unless you intend to wear one as a necklace?

    It’s appropriate if it carries the USB.org ‘flag’ and is certified, but 30 Euros isn’t too expensive is the Supea certified?

    With all respect, but 250 bucks for 1m USB cable, when even 30 bucks is overkill are literally money thrown down the toilet.

    Why do you care how people spend their money?

    I don't care. I just make considerations. And then there's the "stoopid" bell that rings all over, but I'm training myself not to dive too much already.

    Hi Keith,

    I just try to answer Gil’s question, nothing more nothing less.

    Without an own opinion if it’s worth or not to buy a expensive or cheap USB cable.

    Simply Gil didn‘t ask for an own opinion.
